BDF (Bio-diesel Fuel) is expected to be an alternative fuel to diesel oil through methyl esterification. Therefore, the objective of this study is to propose a microwave irradiation method for synthesizing BDF based on the solid catalysts such as eggshells and clam shells, by which BDF aftertreatment is not needed and water can be saved. In the experiment, firstly, eggshells and clam shells were processed to solid catalysts and characterized by SEM and X-ray Diffractometer. Secondly, BDF was synthesized by microwave irradiation and BDF yield ratios under several experimental conditions were quantitatively analysed by GCMS. As a result, it was found that BDF yield ratio under microwaves radiation could reached 99.58%.
